It's No Longer 2004

Overheard during the Yankees-Mets game:

Jose Reyes doesn't walk.

Jose Reyes is, in fact, 8th in the NL in walks so far this season. You have to give Jose a ton of credit. In 2004, in 229 PA, he had 5 walks. Five. In 2007, in 301 PA, he has 36 walks.

That's only 28 fewer than Barry Bonds!

Edit: I think it was Al Leiter saying this on the "my9" network. Leiter's usually not terrible, and he was teammates with Reyes on the Mets in 2003 and 2004. Maybe he's basing this on his memory of the free-swinging kid back then.
